THE VIRTUAL EDGE: Lab 5 Cultivation of Bacteria I

Enumeration of Bacteria

Sometimes it is necessary to determine how many bacteria are present in a liquid culture, that is to determine the concentration or titer of the solution.  This task can seem a bit daunting when one considers that there can be as many as 1,000,000,000 bacteria per milliliter.  There are two basic method types, direct and indirect, that are used to assist in this task:

Lab 5 / Aseptic Technique / Nutritional Requirements for the Cultivation of Bacteria / Enumeration of Bacteria / Dilutions / Lab 5 Organisms
